OK...  you want a "Default to: for forwards"...  you can open a new
report at http://www.thewildbeast.co.uk/claws-mail/bugzilla/index.cgi
Make sure to set Severity to enhancement.

I find that CM has a way to handle almost any situation; but sometimes,
someone comes along with a new twist on mail handling...  :)

There is a "Processing..." feature for folders; but I've never used
it...  though as I'm about to send this reply, I see Paul (one of our
great developers :) has responded.

There's also a Python plugin that you can load and create scripts for
this sort of thing.
http://www.claws-mail.org/plugin.php?plugin=python
See also Holger Berndt's Blog:

There are some example python scripts at:
http://git.claws-mail.org/?p=claws.git;a=tree;f=src/plugins/python/examples;h=d5e01c5e068a6dc38bc19acc926c61315c515bda;hb=HEAD
If you install the auto/startup script, it will add a documentation link
under Help.

HTH,
